Mashreq Bank

Mashreq Bank is a full-service financial institution founded in Dubai in 1967, making it the oldest bank in the UAE. It provides personal banking, corporate solutions and digital banking services to millions of customers, and employs more than 2,400 people. The bank is regulated by the Central Bank of the UAE and has pioneered a number of firsts in the region over more than five decades of operation.

Technology work centres on digital banking, mobile applications and online banking platforms. Key products include Mashreq NEO, a digital banking platform developed in the region to make banking more accessible for everyday users; mobile banking apps for on-the-go transactions; web-based online banking for personal and corporate customers; and in-person services delivered through a physical branch network. The stated emphasis is on experiences that are simpler, faster and more useful, with a focus on customers' circumstances rather than product sales.

The bank's reach extends beyond the UAE, with operations in Egypt, Pakistan, Qatar, India, Bahrain and Kuwait, among other markets in the Middle East and beyond. Working languages and contexts therefore span multiple jurisdictions, each with its own regulatory requirements. Mashreq describes its culture as one built on a challenger mindset, innovation, accessibility and regulatory responsibility.
